Setup & Installation
The Pfister 940-702A Decorative Hub is designed for straightforward installation. Ensure you have the necessary tools and follow these general steps. For specific faucet model instructions, refer to your faucet's original manual.
- Preparation: Before beginning, turn off the water supply to the faucet at the shut-off valves under the sink. Clear the work area and ensure you have a clean cloth and any required tools (e.g., adjustable wrench, screwdriver).
- Remove Existing Part (if applicable): If replacing an old decorative hub, carefully remove it. This may involve unscrewing a retaining nut or collar.
- Position the New Hub: Place the Pfister 940-702A Decorative Hub onto the faucet body. Ensure it aligns correctly with any grooves or connection points.
- Secure the Hub: Hand-tighten any retaining nuts or screws to secure the hub in place. Use a wrench for a final snug tightening, but avoid over-tightening, which can damage the finish or threads.
- Test for Leaks: Turn the water supply back on slowly. Check for any leaks around the newly installed hub. If leaks occur, gently tighten the connections further.

Operation
The Pfister 940-702A Decorative Hub is a static component of your faucet assembly. Once correctly installed, it requires no specific operational steps. Its primary function is to provide a finished aesthetic and structural support for the faucet's internal components. Operate your faucet as usual according to its specific model instructions.
Maintenance
To maintain the polished chrome finish and ensure the longevity of your decorative hub, follow these guidelines:
- Regular Cleaning: Clean the surface regularly with a soft, damp cloth.
- Mild Soap: For more thorough cleaning, use a mild soap and water solution. Rinse thoroughly with clean water and dry immediately with a soft cloth to prevent water spots.
- Avoid Abrasives: Do not use abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, or scouring pads, as these can damage the chrome finish.
- Spot Defense: Pfister products often feature Spot Defense finishes. While this hub has a standard chrome finish, general care practices help maintain its appearance.

Troubleshooting
The decorative hub is a simple component, and issues directly related to it are rare. Most problems will stem from the faucet assembly itself. However, if you encounter issues that seem related to the hub, consider the following:
- Loose Hub: If the decorative hub feels loose, gently re-tighten any visible retaining nuts or screws. Avoid excessive force.
- Finish Discoloration/Damage: Ensure you are using only mild, non-abrasive cleaners. Harsh chemicals can cause permanent damage to the chrome finish. Refer to the Maintenance section for proper cleaning instructions.
- Water Leaks Around Hub: While the hub itself does not seal water, a loose hub might indicate an underlying issue with the faucet's internal seals or connections. Recheck the installation steps and ensure all faucet components are properly seated and tightened. If leaks persist, consult a professional plumber or Pfister customer support.
